United Way begins University drive
Giving comes in a variety of
shapes and sizes, just like people,
and the 1 980 United Way Campaign
at The University hopes to capitalize
on that fact.
According to campaign coordinator Dr. Jude Valdez, director of
the UTSA South Texas Economic
Development Center, the thrust of
the 1 980 United Way Campaign is
to involve every faculty and staff
member, whether they give their
"fair share" or not.
"Our goal is full participation,"
said Dr. Valdez, "to have everyone
contribute something. The United
Way likes to have one per cent of a
person's gross income as a 'fair
share' of giving, but what we're
shooting for is 100% participation."
Eleven volunteer representatives
will contact University employees
Oct. 27-31 with pledge cards and
United Way information. Contributions by cash or check or monthly
billing by United Way are possible
ways UTSA employees can participate in the campaign. Representatives this year are Dr. Cecile G.
Burns, Barbara Harp, Dr. Bess
Hieronymus, Dr. E. Doug Hodo, Kay
Lynn Johnston, Dr. John Kellogg,
Bettie King, William Lindley, John
Massey, Nelda Walls and Barbara
Wright.

United Way SA
To encourage 1 00% participation,
Dr. Wagener, president of The
University, will award a rotating plaque to the department with the
highest percentage of participants
and largest amount contributed.
The United Way is the largest
single voluntary organization in San
Antonio and Bexar County, providing operating dollars for 60
human care agencies and the
American Cancer Society. Community support enables one out of
four San Antonians to receive services in programs ranging from Boy
Scouts to day care nurseries,
YMCAs for the elderly and services
for the handicapped.
Last year. The University's 941
employees contributed $7,700 for
United Way, and Valdez hopes to
better that record this year.
"The University is committed to
public service in the community," he
said. "The United Way Campaign is
another way to express our concern
and willingness to help San Antonio.
I see United Way being very successful at UTSA this fall."
COLORFUL BOOTHS and fun-
seeking people will dot the Sombrilla
Plaza noon to 5 p.m. Oct. 31 as The
University celebrates its third annual
Bestfest.
Over 30 campus clubs will offer
food, games and entertainment during the five-hour event sponsored
this year for the first time by the Student Representative Assembly.
Music begins at noon with the
UTSA Jazz Band, followed by opening ceremonies at 1 p.m. with
Bestfest Grand Marshall Rudy
Davalos, UTSA athletics director.
From 1 to 4:30 p.m., The Blast
Band, a local rock music group, will
perform.
WHAT'S COOKING? Hot lunch
specials offered by the University
Cafeteria this week are beef tacos,
pinto beans and rice, Monday; roast
turkey and dressing with green
beans, Tuesday; chicken fried steak
and whipped potatoes, Wednesday;
cod fillet and french fries, Thursday;
and sausage and sauerkraut with
German potato salad, Friday.
FOUR MEMBERS have been appointed by University President Dr.
James Wagener to an ad hoc committee to search for a women's head
basketball coach.
They are Dr. Lou Curry, associate
professor of accounting; Margaret
Drake, director of institutional
studies and planning; Sonia Maas,
teaching associate in the Division of
Education; and John Massey, personnel director.
Drake was named to chair the
committee, and Rudy Davalos, director of athletics, will serve in an advisory capacity.
"We are determined to select a
'top notch' person to direct our
women's basketball program," said
Davalos. "We will play in Division I
and our goals for our women's team
are the same as for our men's team,
to be very competitive as quickly as
possible. Our women's schedule will
have many of the same teams as our
men's.
"Rules and regulations governing
classification and recruiting of student athletes for men and women
differ greatly, and therefore affect
the sequence of events in scheduling
games and selecting coaches in our
department," he noted.
FIVE STUDENTS have been appointed by Dr. James W. Wagener,
president of The University, to serve
on the Program Council of the Ad
Hoc University Center Advisory
Committee.

were Judith Bragg, senior marketing
major; Douglas Britton, senior
biology major; Gary Herring, Jr.,
freshman biology major; Anita
Muftoz, sophomore, undeclared major; and Sheryl Scotka, junior
physical education major.
Program Council members were
selected on the recommendation of
the University Center Advisory Committee appointed earlier this month.
Chaired by Jane Duckworth, executive assistant to the dean of
students, the committee includes Dr.
Kenneth Weiher, assistant professor, Division of Economics and
Finance; Richard Moore, director of
purchasing; Ronald Garcia, president, Student Representative
Assembly; and Leroy Martinez,
student-at-large.
Members of the Program Council
will serve on the Advisory Committee and will also advise the committee on University Center programming for the 1 980-81 school year.
THE HUMAN Resources Management and Development Program offers free tutorial assistance for all
students enrolled in University
mathematics courses this fall.
